A good way to season glass and china so
that they will remain sound if exposed to
sudden heat or cold is to place the articles
in cold water, bringing it gradually up TO
boiling point, and then allowing it to cool
very slowly, taking several hours TO do it.
The commoner the materials the more care
is required, the very best glass and china
is seasoned before it is placed on the mar
ket.
If the wares are properly seasoned in
this way they may be washed in boiling
water without fear of fracture excepting in
frosty weather, when, if they have been
exposed TO the effects of the cold, care
must be taken not to put them into 100 hot
water suddenly

of This trouble. The land is apparently
Just as good. We have better implements
for the preparation of the seed-bed, special
fertilizers adapted to the wants of the crop,
Yet no improvement.
My conclusion Is that the difficulty lies
wholly with the seed. Fifty years ago it
was not uncommon TO find whole fields of
oats Yielding forty or more pounds 10 the
bushci- here were no new tangled oats
in those DAYS. Scientific writer's tell us
the soil was new that all crops We're better,
" inch may he true to II certain extent vet
this is not the only reason. At that time
all grains were threshed with fail, and
only the best and plumpest grains We're OBJ
tanned, while the shrunken and imperfect
grain was left III the straw. The grain
WAS then Winnnwed 10y shaking from Il

The tail end of the heap

hand. If IL machine leaves even the

looked upon as an imperfect machine and
most likely lie ordered out of the barn.
There l. %" he'd Of the heap coming from
the machine, and good and poor are mixed

any wonder that oats detcriorate?
What would lie thought Of a farmer who
81 oUid plant all the corn that grew in the
hill, uubtins and ali; He would be called
insane. lei ills is just what We do with
oats and then wonder at their failure. Any
one can satisfy himself, if lac viii look
over field OF oats Just after it is headed
out. He will find all grades of growth
from tail, welcomed, stocky heads, down
TO plants which have not sufficient vitality
to make head. When harvested one will
find all lengths of straw, from six inches
10 three feet, AMI all grades of oats, from
zero NJ 10 forty pounds per bushel.
My practice OF late years is TO allow the
machine To blow hard enough to blow over
the light oats from those saved for seed,
and find my oats improving from wear TO

thrcsh the bundles lightly with tiail, and
thus get the best of the grain for seed, and

Cnnsnmntinn of Oysters.

"Where are the oysters cOnsumed?'
MAINLY in New York was the reply.
"About 200, 100000 per year is the
amount of the New York consumption.
The hotels here use nearly 100, 900 per
day, nearly all Blue Points. The hotels
have improved very much in this respect
In the last half dozen years, as their pa
irons showed that they knew good thing
and demanded it. To a few eastern cit
les, however, this is confined, for all
through the west even the best hotels slap
down the cheapest quality of oysters be-
fore their guests. The western people are
being educated up to q knowledge of Oys-
ters, and the demand for the best quail
ties is rapidly growing. Chicago is the
distributing center for all that region,
and takes about 80, coo a day. They are
sent west without the shells in large pals
containing 1000 and a chunk of ice. You
do not often find oysters on the shell in
Chicago on account of the heavy freight
charges. 1t is cheaper to send a barrel of
oysters to Europe than to Chicago"
''When is an oyster in the best cOndi-
tion?'
when between two and three years
old The planting and cultivation OF
oysters is what makes them expensive
for they must be taken care of like flow
ers. We plant q number of seed oysters
in certain place, and leave them there
on a mud bottom to fatten and grow for
a couple of years or a little less, and then
remove them to hard bottom, on which
they get their shape best; there they re-
main perhaps year, and are then fit for
market. Oysters very often grow to be
a dozen years old, but after four years are
